The apartment was in a great location for the family to go to Universal Studios, Sea World and Fun Spot America. We used Uber and Lyft exclusively versus renting a car and paying for parking. The transportation costs probably turned out to be a wash or slightly more expensive going our route, but life was easier not having to deal with the driving and parking hassles. All of the drivers turned out to be very friendly. You have closer access to the parks when being dropped off and picked up via Uber or Lyft. Since the apartment had a kitchen, we used an outstanding local Chef (www.Golden-Plum.com ) to cook all of our meals.
The kids played in the nearby pool and accessed the game room a couple of times on the property. The apartment was very clean, had ample towels and if we needed any more supplies like paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags or sunscreen, we could go to the Publix grocery store which was just 5 minutes away walking. There is also a UPS Store located almost adjacent to the Publix and we sent the extra stuff we had accumulated home versus overloading our luggage.
One of the toilets had an issue with the float valve not operating properly, so the water wouldn't cut off. We notified the facility and it was replaced the following day while we were at a park.
When picking this location, we were most concerned with the potential for noise, as there are apartments located on either side, above and below. We did hear other people from time to time in the other apartments and we did hear cars or sirens from the nearby road, but it never inhibited our sleep. It helped that we were usually exhausted from our day of activities. If we were to go back, we would stay in this apartment again and recommend it to friends and family.
